Interview with Holmes Rolston III, An
Holmes Rolston is interviewed by Sam Libenson and Justin Wong. Environmental ethics is about appropriate caring and respect for wonderland Earth and its inhabitants, each flourishing according to its own nature. Earth is ... -
Layered beam vibrations including slip
This study presents a theory for vibrations of layered beams with the effects of interlayer slip included. The theory is developed using Bernoulli-Euler assumptions with additional developments to account for the interlayer ... -
Modeling of velocity distributions inside and above tall crops
Velocity distributions inside and above a model crop were investigated. The model crop consisted of flexible plastic strips fastened to the floor of a low speed wind tunnel. The experimental results indicated that at some ... -
New method for predicting transient states of salinity intrusion into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, A
The mechanism by which the tidal changes propagate salinity into the Delta channels and the manner in which this propagation is opposed by the fresh water stream flows are expressed in mathematical form. Solutions of the ... -
Run-off forecasts: 1954 water supply in the West
Surveys of Western snowpack show meager supply in Southwest, virtual drought in New Mexico and Colorado, good margin in Northwest, reservoir storage generally above past 10-year average at start of spring run-off, except ... -
Hydraulic head loss at the interface between uniform sands of different sizes
The hydraulic head loss for flow occurring at an interface between sands or gravels of different sizes was studied by experiment. Dimensional analysis was used In formulating the experiments and in analyzing the data which ... -
Electrokinetic-potential fluctuations generated by jet impingement
Electrokinetic-potential fluctuations produced by a two-dimensional submerged water jet impinging on a plate have been measured. The potential fluctuations appear to be approximately proportional to the longitudinal-velocity ... -
On tides in estuaries and around small islands
Tides in estuaries and around small is lands are studied in this paper. Under the assumption that the width and the mean depth of the estuary can be adequately expressed as power functions of the longitudinal distance from ... -
Correlation between the outer flow and the turbulent production in a boundary layer
Space-time velocity correlation measurements between fluctuations occurring in the convoluting outer edge of a flat plate boundary layer with fluctuations occurring near the viscous subregion have been performed. The ... -
Solar thermal electric power systems: final report, volume 3, appendices
The final report consists of three volumes: (1) an Executive Summary, (2) System Studies and Economic Evaluations, and (3) Appendices. The objective of the research program is to develop design parameters of systems for ... -
Preliminary comparison of the economics of two water supply alternatives for the city of Fort Collins, A
It is the determination of this paper that the Joe Wright Project is more economical than the Installation of Water Meters as a water supply alternative for the city of Fort Collins. Arriving at this conclusion required a ... -
Wind tunnel site analysis of Dow Chemical Facility at Rocky Flats, Colorado, part II
This report deals with two separate problems occurring at the Dow Chemical Company Plutonium Recovery Facility, Rocky Flats Division, namely the dispersion of potential effluents and the protection of parking areas from ... -
Artificial roughness standard for open channels
In the formulas in present use the resistance coefficient has been considered constant for a particular type of material in a particular state of upkeep. The resistance coefficient, however, is not a constant for a given ... -
Vertical distribution of water vapor using satellite sounding methods with new aircraft data validation
The importance of water vapor in Earth's climate system is undisputedly immense. Its meteorological impacts range from radiative transfer to the hydrologic cycle, on scales ranging from local to planetary. It affects ... -
Constituents of Castilleja rhexifolia, Mahonia repens and Oncidium cebolleta, The
A total of 54 species of plants from 21 different plant families were collected throughout the subalpine region of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. These plants were tested for antitumor activity, alkaloid content and grasshopper ...
